IMHO, this is what I would wish for either Groupon or LivingSocial to do. Instead of just throwing it back on to the business once the groupons are sold, be involved beyond that point. Infact, know which customers fit in to that top 5% who actually consistently spend beyond the value of the groupon. Those are the customers that you would want to refer to your clients. If there was a feedback loop back from the businesses back to Groupon or Living Social, then they could curate this list of customers and either start targeting them with better deals or charge more for businesses to get access to those customers. This way, Groupon/LivingSocial has a list of customers that are highly desirable for local businesses to reach, and businesses have a steady roster of customers who dont stiff them on these deals. I am sure this can be done. Just not sure whether either of these two know how to do it.
